There's a protest planned for Tuesday, 5-6:30 pm, on the Congress Ave.
Bridge. It's sponsored by Austin Against War. I don't know anything about
the group, but Janice and I are going to be visible. If anyone wants to
join us, let's try to meet around 5 around the north end of the bridge
(downtown side). And send me a note so I'll know to look for you.

"I must confess that over the last few years I have
been gravely disappointed with the white moderate.
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that
the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward
freedom is not the white citizen's Counciler or the
Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more
devoted to 'order' than to justice; who prefers a
negative peace which is the absence of tension to a
positive peace which is the presence of justice...;
who paternalistically feels that he can set the
timetable for another man's freedom... I had hoped
that the white moderate would understand that law and
order exist for the purpose of establishing justice..."
